CLASSIFICATION OF CLOUD COMPUTING:

According to National Institute of Standard and Technology (U.S.Department of Commerce),

Software as a Service (SaaS):

Through this service, educationalinstitutions can subscribe for Web based application software and payfor usage of the software.

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS):Through this service, educationalinstitutions can subscribe for a virtual IT infrastructure that consists ofservers, networks, data storage and other necessary tools properlyconfigured to form a virtual computing environment.

Platform as a service (PaaS):Through this service, educationalinstitutions can subscribe for a Web based application developmentplatform to design, develop, test, deploy, upgrade, and host Web basedapplication software. It allows the developers of the software to form acommunity for the collaboration on a project.
